Convert between digital information units instantly. Our converter includes bits, bytes, and binary prefixes KB through TB. Bits are the smallest information unit in computing (0 or 1); eight bits make one byte, which can encode a single ASCII character. Storage and RAM are usually quoted in bytes with powers of 1024 (2¹⁰), which is why 1 KB = 1024 B in most OS displays. Network speeds are often in bits per second. Manufacturers sometimes use decimal GB (10⁹ bytes), which is why a “500 GB” drive shows slightly less in Windows. Use this tool to compare file sizes, RAM, disk space, and download estimates. All processing is local to your device.
Supported units: bit, byte (B), kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), terabyte (TB). Binary IEC-style factors (1024) for byte multiples.

Brief explanation: bit to byte
1 byte = 8 bits. 1 KB = 1024 B, 1 MB = 1024 KB, and so on (binary). Storage marketing may use 1000-based GB; OS tools often use 1024-based GiB.
